Best Speakers

[JMacMan]

WELL! - at least it's good to hear that the likes of the Lyngdorf-Steinway system, or the Bosendorfers, let alone MBL Radialstrahlers aren't in contention for the 'best' speaker award....

Slightly implausible to use 'Best Speakers' as a header given the question that supposedly went with it!

Let's be kind... 🙂

Another good option if you want louder and deeper bass is the Corsair SP2500 2.1 speaker system used together with the same Behringer DAC as above. The Corsair system won't have as good sound quality as the Yamaha speakers but it will have more bass if that's what you prefer.

Total cost £202.

After reading some of your posts I can honestly say most of you sound like Idiots and probably listen to Jefferson Airplane or Mungo Jerry or some such EDITED. Maybe if you some of you pull your head out from your EDITED you could hear your speakers better! FYI: £300 tops, that all you need.

Thank you and good bye.

Superb, BasilSeven, superb! Stick around, we need someone like you to help us out of our own EDITEDs!

I'm with JJ. It must have been a cunning AVI coven conspiracy. Especially as AVI owners came up with some sub-£300 recommendations.

At least with sticking ones head up ones own dark oriface it keeps your hair nice and glossy. Or is that rubbing in chicken do-do?

I think someone has had some entertainment at our expense. Thank you so much OP. :wave:

Funny as it is, I don't think the OP can try to reclaim the thread, considering he didn't bother checking what he'd posted origInally. :roll:

 

[steve_1979]

The best sub £300 computer speakers? Well that's obviously got to be the ADM9's. 😛oke: :twisted:

 

[BenLaw]

You could just buy 15 alacrity audio tweeters.

 

[steve_1979]

Or maybe 1/10th of an ADM40.

 

[BenLaw]

Which tenth?

 

[steve_1979]

You could set up a time share deal with ten other people. That way you can have the best computer speakers in the world for five weeks a year for just £300 each. :?

 

[jcbrum]

Well, does it really matter ?

If they are 1000x better than anything else, - they'll still be 100x better, even then. 8)

You'd have to fight over how you split up the remaining 14 days tho. Plus transit times.

 

[BenLaw]

Yes, but a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Just like walls :rofl: I'm sure the ADM40s would benefit from relaxing for those 14 days. I'm sure it would increase the black level. :twisted:

 

[BenLaw]

Mmm, 2 weeks of extra inkiness.

According to his blog on the Alacrity Audio website they are going to be at the Scalford Show (Melton Mowbray), March 3rd.

Brilliant news. I wonder if anyone from AVI will grow a pair and turn up??? I doubt it. I'm sure we will get a report after pie-fi.

 

[shropshire lad]

Well , it looks as if the life has been sucked out of this thread ( or has it?) and those AVI culty vampire chaps will have to find a new host thread to infest , spread their evil rantings and lure a few more innocent victims into their despicable temple of doom and despair .

Bring it on .



Grow a pair of what ?

What a bizarre statement. Are you ok? :?

 

[RobinKidderminster]

Bizarre? The thread should be renamed thus.

 

[jjbomber]

Never felt better! There's only one speaker company left who won't have their products compared to a real hi-fi. They won't go to the Bristol Show to be compared to 170 real hi-fi companies and the cult members won't go to pie-fi to compare their systems against real hi-fis.

Now for the best bit. Someone has started athread specifically for AVI cult members to talk about their speakers:

What a great day.

 

[BenLaw]

How extensive is your experience of listening to AVI speakers jj?

Ummm... You do know that the ADM9's have been reviewed (and 5 star rated) by WHF?

And the previous version also got 5 stars:

I may not like the claims AVI makes, how they talk about traditional audio brands, mags and audiophiles or how they "advertised" on this forum in the past, but I don't doubt that they make a quality product.

And that is the whole point isn't it? AVI claiming that people who go to hi-fi shows are not normal. It makes me want to give them a wide berth. The way they ''advertise'' under false names on the forum. Would you trust their business model? No, me neither.

No doubt the product will suit a small number of people in the hi-fi market. that's fine and nobody has a problem with that. If someone has £1,500 and wanys active speakers, then great. However, we have seeen them recommended for someone looking to spend £350 on speakers, another one was £600 on a DAC, another one £800 on a CD transport (which he'd still need, even with active speakers), £4,000 on a CD Hard Drive etc. So in the end we have no other option but to laugh at them.

Another option is to join us. :shifty:

Go on, you know you want to! :cheers:
